| Replacement shock
Looking for alternative shocks was a dead end for me. I have spent hours looking for alternatives to my 98 and finally broke down and bought them from Airstream. All the tech support at Gabriel (mfg of these) could tell me was a phone number to a supplier in Canada. No cross ref to anything. I even had them measured and found shocks from both Monroe and A/C Delco. But the devil is in the detail: width and bushing sizes. There is hardly any clearance at the top to put it in, since the top bolt is welded to the axle assembly, so sleeved equivalents are not easy to install.
All in all, the Airstream shocks were *cheaper* than alternatives from Monroe and A/C Delco (using very competitive suppliers) and this included a drop ship from the factory to my house! In the future, save yourself the hassle and just order them from the factory.
